Turn any News or Info article into a shareable link or QR code — no app required to read it. Perfect for social media, email, your website, or digital signage.

2. Give it a name — this is just for you, members never see it.

3. Set the Action to Open News Article or Open Info Article (they work identically, so it doesn't matter which article type you're linking to).

The QR code and deep link, ready to use or download

• QR Code — download it as a PNG or JPG and print it on signage, posters, or anywhere members can scan it.

• Deep Link — copy the URL and drop it into social posts, emails, or your website.

3. What People See

On a phone with your app installed, the link opens the app straight to that article. No app? No problem — it falls back to a simple web page version of the same article, with a prompt to download the app.
